Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

When Ian landed on the island riding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

He then discovered that the place was deserted and there was no sign of human activity.

"I was hoping to get a meal and find a place to stay, but now it seems I'll have to fend for myself..."

Ian looked out at the nearby sea.

The blue-eyed white dragon then looked towards the sea and opened its gaping maw.

Clumps of white clay were released by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and they exploded the moment they hit the sea surface.

Rumbling--

Huge waves suddenly surged up on what was once a vast and calm sea.

Only a few seconds passed.

One after another, dark shadows slid beneath the blue sea.

They were all sea kings attracted by the power of the "exploding clay"!

The Calm Belt, the lair of sea kings.

The slightest movement on the sea surface will attract the interest of sea kings.

The blue-eyed white dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the sea, then plunged back into the water.

Ordinary clay is easily softened and broken down when exposed to strong water.

However, there is no need to worry about hard and solid porcelain clay.

slam-la-

Seawater surged skyward, and the sounds of fierce battle erupted beneath the surface.

Ian waited on the shore for a while.

Several [System Treasure Chests] jumped out of the void in succession, and they were all—

[Silver Treasure Chest: Sea King]

"Back in Impel Down, if you weren't training the water monkeys, blasting fish in the Calm Belt was a pretty good way to hunt for treasure chests..."

Ian glanced at the silver treasure chests, then turned his attention back to the sea.

After a while.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon led several enormous sea monsters out of the ocean and onto the beach.

Ian drew the [Iron Ore Military Knife] from his waist and awkwardly twirled it.

An endless stream of swordsmanship inspiration burst forth in his mind.

Ian instantly sensed the "breathing" sounds coming from all around him.

The sky's "breathing," the sea's "breathing," the rocks' "breathing," and even the sea king's corpse ahead...

"If we use the terminology of a swordsman..."

"This must be what they call the realm of 'Slicing Iron,' right?"

Ian lightly swung the [Iron Ore Saber].

All of a sudden.

A flying slash, crackling with intense flames, tore through the air and headed straight for the corpses of the sea kings.

shhhhh--

The unstoppable flying slash easily sliced ​​the sea king's corpse into several pieces.

Ian disposed of the body and began to start a fire and roast the meat.

His skills are not good.

But it's okay.

Several 253 silver treasure chests crashed down.

Ian possesses a four-star [Cooking Skill]!

A rich aroma began to permeate the deserted island.

Ian prepared all the food and then quietly summoned the last remaining [Diamond Chest].

Add points to [Physique]!

[Endurance: ★★★★★★☆] (Six and a half stars)

The familiar feeling of hunger surged back.

Ian throws himself into the war for food.

Over the next two days.

Ian remained on the island in the Calm Belt.

He hunts sea kings to obtain food, improves his physical fitness, and increases his digestive abilities.

He had mastered all the ability points he had previously acquired, including two brand-new Devil Fruit abilities.

Not only that.

Ian also used the "wish" function of the three Death Platinum Chests that he hadn't used before in the past two days.

[Bondi Waldo], [Plessy], [Bad Van Grace].

Three platinum chests were exchanged for three new five-star abilities.

This day.

The blue-eyed white dragon spread its wings and flew away from the uninhabited island deep in the doldrums.

Ian only has one [Naval Headquarters Permanent Pointer] in his possession—a "gift" he received from the Equipment Department.

He has no plans to go to Navy Headquarters right now.

So they flew in the opposite direction toward the sea.

After several days of high-altitude flight.

After a series of trips to uninhabited islands.

Ian finally discovered a populated island.

He maneuvered the Blue-Eyes White Dragon downwards, arriving at the island's dock.

The arrival of the white dragon, seemingly straight out of a myth, instantly caused panic among the island's inhabitants.

On the dock.

Ian picked out a relatively calm passerby from the crowd.

"Excuse me, what's the name of this island?"

"Bei, the island of Belfast."

"Never heard of that... What are the closest large islands to this island? Enies Lobby? Water Seven?"

"I've never heard of any of these islands you've mentioned, sir..."

"Huh? This isn't the Grand Line?"

"This is the South China Sea."

Chapter 62 What king did you just say you dreamed of becoming?

"South China Sea……"

Ian looked up at the sky, a profound sense of separation welling up inside him.

Before landing on the island, he was still thinking about how to recruit subordinates, how to break into the New World, and how to fight against the Four Emperors.

After landing on the island, let alone rushing into the New World, he has already broken out of the Calm Belt and crossed the Grand Line!

What the hell is the South China Sea?!

Ian was bewildered.

This feeling is like everyone imagining how earth-shattering the battle between the Four Emperors would be...

Turning around, he saw the two short pirate emperors grabbing each other's collars and choking each other in the middle of the main street of Loguetown...

This scene is absolutely absurd!

OK.

come all come...

Ian shook his head, dismissing the irrelevant thoughts from his mind.

He pulled a 10,000-beli banknote from his pocket—the remaining portion of his unspent marine salary.

"I need a local guide and to ask him a few questions."

In front of everyone, Ian waved the ten thousand yuan in his hand.

"Is anyone willing to take on this job?"

It is impossible for them to stay in the South China Sea.

Ian's first thought was to rest on the island for a while and then immediately set off back to the Grand Line.

Many of the onlookers at the dock showed expressions of interest as they looked at the ten thousand yuan in Ian's hand.

But when they saw the majestic blue-eyed white dragon in the sky, not a single person dared to move an inch!

Ian looked at the unresponsive crowd at the dock and immediately realized what was going on.

He raised his hand and gestured towards the sky, and the blue-eyed white dragon immediately flapped its wings and charged towards him.

However, before the white dragon could land...

The people on the dock then let out a series of heart-wrenching cries and wails.

"Ah! Run!"

"That white dragon is charging over!"

"The white dragon is going to eat people!"

Amidst the cacophony of shouts, people on the dock rushed away as fast as they could, trying to get as far away from the dock as possible.

In the blink of an eye, everyone on the dock had vanished.

Ian watched the backs of the people scattering like birds and beasts, and his lips twitched a few times.

He overestimated the average person's acceptance of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon...

The shrunken blue-eyed white dragon perched lazily on Ian's shoulder, swishing its tail like a house cat.

Ian looked at the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, gazing into the latter's deep blue eyes.

"It's a pity you're a dragon, so be it..."

next moment.

The appearance of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon began to change; its wings disappeared, its neck shortened, and its limbs became slender and long...

Even the pale dragon scales covering its body turned into individual, translucent, snow-white downy hairs.

And the most amazing thing is...

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's originally thick and powerful tail spread out like a peacock's tail, turning into a full nine fox tails!

This is no longer the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

replaced by--

The Nine-Tailed Fox!

The pure white, graceful, and alluring nine-tailed fox jumped off Ian's shoulder.

It held its head high and strode forward, its little bottom sticking up high, its nine fluffy and soft fox tails swaying in mid-air.

"However, the furry ones are definitely cuter than the hairless ones..."
